4) Overall Presentation

Overall, the author’s proposal to incorporate additions to the “Cost” and “Evaluation criteria for public-funding of orphan drugs” is a valid proposal. However, the authors should justify the partial deletion of the following phrase that is currently present in Wikipedia:

There is a further reduction to the cost of development because of the tax incentives in the Orphan Drug Act 1983. On average the cost per patient for orphan drugs is "six times that of non-orphan drugs, a clear indication of their pricing power."[1] Partly as a result of the 1983 US Orphan Drug Act, Japan adopted it in 1993 as did the European Union in 2000.[1]

5) Format and timing of submission

While the work was submitted in time, the authors did not follow the requested format. The issues with formatting, Schemes/Figures/Tables and required number of sources/references should be addressed in the final draft.
